There aren't many women by percentage in software period

40% of my workplace is not 'not many by percentage', it's near-parity... but it is a proprietary software company (we tried to take it free but our customers asked us not to. Banks are strange.)

About half of those are testers or DBAs: perhaps 30% of the developers are female. A bit low but not terrible.

By contrast my company has 2 developers to around 30 men. And the two women are *new*. It's a good start.
